Well, you shouldn't even need to turn off any other panels.  If the text
box he uses supports it, all he needs to do is tell it not to do word
wrap and make sure there is a horizontal scroll bar so you can scroll
left and right.

I like making the colon act like a new line because it puts each
statement on a line of its own which makes following what the program is
going to do much easier.  It has nothing to do with the physical space
it takes up on screen.
